Re: What have you ordered?

I am almost 100% certain these are the guys that did dad's R8 rear sill plastic paint protection strips, note the location;

Altrincham
WA14 5DW

About 15min from me! Going to visit them asap. (When I say asap, when my car doesn't look like an Audi mechanic owns it, i.e. in s**t condition).

Polished Bliss' new unit is a dangerous place to be.. It's like Aladdins cave! They've got almost every Swissvax wax in stock aswell, once I've finished my Glasur sample, I'll be heading back!

Re: What have you ordered?

I bet, lucky I'm not close!

Blurry photo... Acryllic or Carnauba?

Re: What have you ordered?

Carnuba, purely based on PB recommendations

Love it! I'm staying well away from that website! Free delivery!

It's like f**king free smack to a heroin addict!

Re: What have you ordered?

Was going to get a Swissvax carry bag, but it was £50, and they had that red/black one for £6.50! Lol

Re: What have you ordered?

Anyone used any of the other Swissvax waxes apart from Onyx? They come in fancy tubs now aswell!

Might use my finger mitt with it.. Oh no wait....

 

[Gally]

Re: What have you ordered?

Pmsl! SV make you want to buy their stuff, i've never really been attracted to their waxes though, apart from Crystal Rock.

Did you not even pick up an "awesome" brush?

Think I've caught the detailing bug again FFS. can't wait to use my new toys!

The new tubs are crap mate, the opening at the top is tiny compared with the old ones, the tub is better quality but the opening is crap! Mate, how long did it take me to send you that magazine!

You might get the spare mit in 2011!

I've already got one, tbh I'm not that keen. I like the Megs brushes though, the new one is more for her Mini, it's got loads of nooks and crannies I cant reach.

Think I'll try Best of Show next, although it's £160..

Re: What have you ordered?

It's meant to be anice wax, not a patch on Glasur though, you'll realise this.

Ah never had a look at an open one, interesting. Think I've got a couple of uses left in my Onyx pot, and that Glasur.. Then I'll invest!

Dont worry about the mitt, I probably wouldn't have used it

 

[Gally]

Re: What have you ordered?

It's ideal i've dropped countless of those freeking sponge ones!

You like Onyx mate? Had a read at that EVO yet?

 

[Justin]

Re: What have you ordered?

Read it the day it arrived! Great read.. I'm amazed after the slight negatives that Evo said about it (gearchange/interior), once lotus changed them all, the Evora S didnt score aswell.. Which I'm test driving tomorrow

Onyx is AWESOME, I love it, but then I'm only comparing it to more basic ones like 50/50, P21s etc.. I'll probably go for it again tbh

Re: What have you ordered?

Lol, knew you would be!

Driving the S when it came out. You're such a ***** x

 

[Justin]

Re: What have you ordered?

Ha! It's actually a Lotus/Aston/Bentley open day in Aberdeen and was invited along..

Although the saleman did say I could have ANY exterior colour, hence my 'Favourite Colour' thread in Other Marques

Re: What have you ordered?

[magh]

Re: What have you ordered?

Re: What have you ordered?

Bumping this thread...

Ordered my DAS-6 yesterday, hoping it'll arrive in the morning, along with some sunshine

This is the kit I ordered:
http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/Kestrel_DAS-6_Sonus_Kit_1.html

What does everyone think of the Sonus products? I've always used products with fillers as opposed to abrasives before, as I've been applying by hand, and didn't want to play the correction game without a DA.

I've also bought recently:

Poorboy's SSR3.
Dodo Juice Clearly Menthol

Waiting to try these products, hopefully tomorrow, and I can give the car a bit of love! Haven't really cleaned the car since I waxed it up with Collinite 476 for the winter, that would've been late November!

 

[JD]

Re: What have you ordered?

Sonus pads are great for newbies, as they last ages and ages. Not keen on the PB SSR range, personally, but you'll find one line of polishes that works best for you and most likely stick by them!

 

[Gally]

Re: What have you ordered?

Marc did you look at the pro?

I ordered that SV wheel brush yesterday JD, I had to have it! And a couple of megs bottle to decant my glass/wheel stuff into.
